Seope* LI This specification covers seamless copper water tube suitable for general plumbing, similar applications for the conveyance of fluids, and commonly used with solder, Nared, for compression-ype fitings. The type of copper water tube switable for any particular application is determined by the internal or extemal uid. pressure, by the installation and service conditions, and by local requirements. Means of joining for bending are also factors which affect the selection of the type of tube to be used?

Signals that are found to have been caused by minor mechanical damage, soil or moisture, shall not be cause for rejection of the tubes provided the tube dimen- sions are still within prescribed limits and the tube is suitable for its intended application. 10.2 Tube made to this specification shall be capable of withstanding the pressure test of 10.2.1 of 10.2.2. On subse- {quent testing by the purchaser, failure to meet the requirements ‘oF 10.2.1 of 10.2.2 are grounds for rejection of the material by the purchaser 10.2.1 The tube shall stand, without showing evidence of leakage, an internal hydrostatic pressure sulicient to subject the material to a fiber stress of 6000 psi, calculated from the following equation for thin hollow cylinders under tension: P=25i(0-08) o where P= hydrostatic pressure, psi: 1 = wall thickness, in 'D = outside diameter of the tube, in and 'S. = allowable sires of the material, psi 10.2.2 The tube shall stand an intemal air pressure of 60 psig for 5 s without showing evidence of leakage. The ts method used shall permit easy visual detection of any leakage, such as by having the tube under water or by the pressure dlilfeemtial method. 11, Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations 11.1 For the purpose of determining conformance with the dimensional requirements prescribed in this specification, any measured value outside the specified limiting values for any dimensions shall make the tube subject to rejection at the ‘option of the puchaser 11.2 Standard Dimensions, Wall Thickness, and Diameter Tolerances —The standard dimensions, wall thickness, and diameter tolerances shall be in accordance with Table 1 11.3. -Mass—For purposes of calculating weights, cross s2c- tions, and so forth, the density ofthe copper shall be taken as (0.323 Ibiin?. The theoretical weight per foot is given in Tavle 1 114 Roundness—For drawn unannealed tube in straight lengths, the roundness tolerance shall be as prescribed in Table 4. The deviation from roundness is measured as the difference between major and minor diameters as determined at any one cross section of the tube, No roundness tolerance has been tstablished for annealed tube in straight lengths or for tubes farished in eos 115 Lengths and Tolerances: 115.1 Standard Lengths and Tolerances—The standard lengths and tolerances shall be as specified in Table 5. 11.5.2 Tube supplied in other than standard lengths ind tolerances shall bein accordance with requirements establisied by agreement between the manufacturer or supplier and the purchaser. 11.6 Squareness of Cut—For tube in straight lengths, the departure from squareness of the end of any tube shall not ‘exceed more than 0,010 in. for tube up 0 and including Yin. ‘andard size; and not more than 0.016 inJin, of outside diameter for tube larger than Yé-in. standard size 12, Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance 12.1 The material shall be clean, fee of dirt and defects of ‘a natute that interfere with normal commercial application 13, Sampling 13.1 Sample pieces shall be selected for test purposes from each lot of 5000 Ibs or fraction thereof, of each size and type, in accordance with the schedule of Table 6. 14, Number of Tests and Retests 14.1 Chemical Analysis—Samples for chemical ana\ysis shall be taken in accordance with Practice E 255.
